Description

Rare offering of a treasured property that has remained in the same family for over 30 years. 'Riven Rock' is a beloved family estate at water's edge near the Seawall loop of Acadia National Park, and the charming island village of Southwest Harbor. Architect designed by a respected Boston firm that specializes in historic reproductions of classic New England architecture, Royal Barry Mills. The classic Cape was the design vision of the owner/builder and Manset native, the famed boat builder, Jarvis Newman. Construction of the home was meticulously managed by Newman utilizing superb materials and fine workmanship throughout. Newman's design influence appears in the boat woodwork details and clever use of space. Additional home features include the pristine pine paneling, Rumford fireplace in the great room, teak flooring, spacious and comfortable living areas, and absolutely stunning ocean views from nearly every room! Grand outdoor living spaces with a spacious deck, large stone patio with steps to the seawall. A flagpole at the edge of the patio guides sailors as to winds direction. Enjoy stunning sunrises overlooking the Western Way with Great Cranberry Island as a backdrop. Seals and porpoises can be seen daily along with minks and otters like the rocks in front of the house. A perfect setting to watch sailing regattas and ever changing ocean activity. Additional 4-bedroom/2 bath guest quarters.
